5. New legislation took effect Friday authorizing the use of autonomous delivery robots in the state of Georgia. A corresponding bill, House Bill 1009, has been sponsored by Representative Todd Jones of Forsyth County and outlines regulations to govern the robots, including where and when they can operate and at what speeds. Jones says he hopes that easing the way for businesses to use delivery robots will help policymakers show corporate prospects that the state is technology-friendly. (Forsyth County Herald)
